He opens a book and the pictures in it come to life. Perhaps the day is coming when we may see these moving picture,pictures in a bird guide --making it the ultimate guide. Until then, this Stokes Guide is the next best thing.cestoadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653689058424312225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757093280387768593.post-90645488374912617672010-10-21T10:43:44.978-04:002010-10-21T10:43:44.978-04:00I consult my Audubon field guide with some frequen...I consult my Audubon field guide with some frequency, to attempt to distinguish among hawks, or to wish that I had cardinals in my yard.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15574184493184278713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757093280387768593.post-84291032711990781652010-10-18T21:55:55.284-04:002010-10-18T21:55:55.284-04:00Nina how wonderful!

('Cuz Nian said we could!)<br /><br />While I'll never give up my 40 year old Peterson's, every new field guide has a slightly different angle, additional plumages, or features a slightly different aspect of each species. I agree with those who said "You can never have too many field guides." I certainly good use another one.Kathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13186814675058675885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757093280387768593.post-37072972822534453262010-10-18T20:30:20.827-04:002010-10-18T20:30:20.827-04:00Bird Guides evolve like the birds they cover.

Frankly, even though this is a NA Field Guide, many of these birds migrate through and to Central America. I would send my copy to a 10 year old boy in Crooked Tree, Belize, who is interested in becoming a bird guide to follow in the steps of a family friend who is now a world class birder and guide. It will be hand delivered by a local group of birders traveling there next March.<br />Here is some info about Turiq: http://www.oakintheseed.com/2010/02/new-life-for-old-binoculars.htmlDeejbrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08143307437996045353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757093280387768593.post-34208925456298554582010-10-06T11:54:05.103-04:002010-10-06T11:54:05.103-04:00My wife's birthday is coming up!My wife's birthday is coming up!catnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757093280387768593.post-34200024814942966922010-10-06T02:28:37.533-04:002010-10-06T02:28:37.533-04:00I'm just getting to know my grand-niece who...I'm just getting to know my grand-niece who's 10 years old.
